Tomato Pie Recipe
Who else loves garden tomatoes? This recipe is ohhhhhh so easy and so simple. Serve it with a salad and dinner is DONE!
Besides, I truly needed to update the recipe and photos from 2012. What a difference 6 years can make.

I have this gorgeous summer garden growing and I’m so very proud of it… tomatoes are are one of my favorite vegetables (but I think I remember reading they’re fruits, right?!).
Enjoy!

I’ve got 2 in the oven right now. I bought one a few weeks ago from a local place down east for $16!!! LOL! Thanks for the recipe!
Yay! I hope you enjoy it! My tomatoes from Mama were SUPER juicy; I’m sure she would pass some along to you while they’re going crazy! 🙂
Oh, I would love to have some!
Can’t wait to try your Tomato Pie recipe. Have you had trouble with a watery result?
Hi Sue, thanks so much! This pie wasn’t watery… I’ve tried different ways of draining the tomatoes and found that by sprinkling with a little salt, draining for 20 minutes (total) on paper towels, flipping the slices after 10 minutes and blotting them on both sides with paper towels afterwards works to keep it from being watery. I hope you enjoy! 🙂
This is just gorgeous! I’m so sure yours is the very best recipe out there for this classic!

Amy you have done it again! Can’t wait to make this!
Thanks so much, Casey… hope you enjoy it! 🙂
This looks delicious! I typically use Just Mayo (vegan, because I can’t have eggs)- do you think it would work here, or is the egg necessary to bind it (sorta like a quiche)? Perhaps if so, a couple flax eggs might work? Thoughts?
Hi Beth, I can’t say for sure because I’ve always used real mayonnaise in this recipe. Please let me know how it turns out if you try it. I hope you enjoy it! 🙂
